Nota del editor de Pagera

The Overcoat (Russian: Шинель, Shinel, 1842) is a celebrated short story by Nikolai Gogol, one of the foundational works of Russian realism. Dostoevsky famously declared, "We all came out of Gogol's Overcoat." The story follows Akakiy Akakievich Bashmachkin, a humble titular councillor in St. Petersburg who scrimps and saves to buy a new overcoat, only to have it stolen on his first night out. The ensuing official indifference, his death, and a fantastic ghostly epilogue blend satire, pity, and the supernatural in a way that defined the Petersburg short story and influenced generations of Russian writers including Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Bulgakov.

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809-1852), born in Ukraine, was a Russian writer of short stories, novels, and plays, regarded as the founder of Russian realism and a master of the grotesque. His works include Dead Souls (1842), The Inspector General (1836), Diary of a Madman (1835), The Nose (1836), and Taras Bulba (1835). Gogol's last years were marked by religious crisis; he died in Moscow at 42 after burning the second part of Dead Souls.
